Who you callin' pussy paws? I've climbed some respectable 5.6's with these paws!
And that flower was about 2" in diameter if I recall.
This is exactly the way I found them - just lying in the rocks as it were.

I took a hike around Navajo Mountain in April, the timing was perfect for wildflowers. Here's some highlights:

Hmmm, ryankelly, that first pic looks a lot like opium. It usually has more colorful flowers. I was mainly looking at the pods. El Portal seems a likely place to find such an exotic-mind altering-plant growing . . .

hey there say, all...
another view, but, as i said it IS having a taller stalk, and the flowery TOP piece is NOW another few inches longer but still curled downward, but not as tightly...
:)
note:
my OTHER mystery plant was one:
clammy ground cherry...
and,
the real long-time mystery was:
motherwort...
i have moved it from taking over the whole back-corner of the yard,
to the FENCE instead... it looks very nice there, :)

hey there say, ekat...
i love that prickley poppy...
it is also called, nickname, cowboy's eggs...
*looks like a sunny side up egg...
it was all along the rail tracks in south texas...
it looked like bits of soft tissue paper, with bright yellow on it...
had a very differen and nice shade of green leaves, too...
:)
once up close though, you'd manyyyyyyyyyyyy a thorn, :O

hey there bob, and all...
say, the mystery flower, i am more and more thinking may be a
wild orchid... there are supposed to be many species here...
possibly a fringed one... not sure...
think it was not enough like the bog orchid, but i did not have
a good pic of that...
here it is now, it is NEAR to open...
standing tall, orchid are supposed to be for late spring,
and summer... and some 'til aug. so this may be on schedule,
if that it turns out to be one...
i have about 14 of them, at various locations in the backyard...
two died of water drenching and shriveled under an eaves...
and two, i ruined, by trying to dig up and transplant to where the kids would not step on them... :O
and--i have about two in the front yard...
very strange and fun to watch them since they popped up, kind of like the
lilly of the valley did, but thinner-leafed, lighter, and now it appears they are grooved... and as the plant-stalk grew from an odd curl, it began to UNCURL and the leaves spread apart and more leaves manesfested...
very neat plant, whatever it is...
here you go--will see what color it blooms to be:
:)
*well, the top of the flower looks like the one in this article,
but the LEAVES do not, (though the one picture is from india orchid)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habenaria
but they say there are some 800 species of this bog orchid:
Habenaria, commonly called bog orchids, are a far ranging genus of orchid, one of approximately 800 described Orchidaceae genera within that large and diverse family. There are species in both tropical and temperate zones.
